VOICE SYNTHESIZING METHOD AND VOICE SYNTHESIZING APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A voice synthesizing method comprising:
- a first receiving step of receiving first utterance control information generated by detecting a start of a manipulation on a manipulating member by a user;
a first synthesizing step of synthesizing, in response to a reception of the first utterance control information, a first voice corresponding to a first phoneme in a phoneme sequence of a voice to be synthesized to output the first voice;
a second receiving step of receiving second utterance control information generated by detecting a completion of the manipulation on the manipulating member or a manipulation on a different manipulating member; and
a second synthesizing step of synthesizing, in response to a reception of the second utterance control information, a second voice including at least the first phoneme and a succeeding phoneme being subsequent to the first phoneme of the voice to be synthesized to output the second voice.

Abstract
A voice synthesizing apparatus includes a first receiver configured to receive first utterance control information generated by detecting a start of a manipulation on a manipulating member by a user, a first synthesizer configured to synthesize, in response to a reception of the first utterance control information, a first voice corresponding to a first phoneme in a phoneme sequence of a voice to be synthesized to output the first voice, a second receiver configured to receive second utterance control information generated by detecting a completion of the manipulation on the manipulating member or a manipulation on a different manipulating member, and a second synthesizer configured to synthesize, in response to a reception of the second utterance control information, a second voice including at least the first phoneme and a succeeding phoneme being subsequent to the first phoneme of the voice to be synthesized to output the second voice.
